CONGENITAL BOWING AND ANGULATION OF LONG BONES

CAROL R. ANGLE M.D.1

1 The Department of Pediatrics, University of Nebraska Hospital, Omaha.

The clinical picture of congenital angulation and bowing of long bones is presented and 37 roentgenographically proved cases are reviewed from the English literature. A case of bilateral femoral angulation is presented. The pathogenesis of the condition is discussed and correlated with mechanical principles and with the published results of experimental investigations. It is concluded that although the etiology is still uncertain, the mechanical theory is most acceptable. Some modifications of this theory are offered.
